It's not easy to live, it's not easy to live

A novel that likes Yu Hua, from Xu Sanguan selling blood to being a brother, to living.

Yu Hua's text tells us, do you think I am Coke? Do you think it's funny? That's not necessarily real Coke, it's really funny. You laughed, but there is a price to pay. After reading it, don't you feel sad?

One of my favorite writers is Su Tong and the other is Yu Hua. Su Tong is a bit gothic and writes cold and sad stories, while Yu Hua is joking about the same cold and sad stories, seemingly heartless. However, the characters in Yu Hua's writings are all exaggerated in comic style.

What impressed me was that Fugui sang shadow puppets behind the white cloth. Jiazhen asked her son to pour tea for Fugui, and then the mother and two poured a lot of vinegar in it. Fugui drank the tea and sprayed a sip of tea on the white cloth of the shadow puppet. I just heard Fugui roar: A little bastard~~~~~~

Fugui is an experienced person, and he can live with self-deprecation like this, so that when he tells his life experience, he can be like this With a seemingly indifferent demeanor.

Hermann Hesse said: Life is not easy, life is hard, that is what children think, let the God in your heart speak and they will be silent.

Fugui has no God, and neither do we. Some are just innately resistant to any miserable genes.
